IBM Verse Basic (or freemium if you like)


Tags :


IBM Verse Basic is the starter kit of welcoming users to try IBM Verse. We previously referred to it as freemium. The final statement of restrictions seem to be announced.

We want you to see how Verse helps declutter your inbox. You can:
  • Send up to 100 emails in a 24 hour period.
  • Send mail containing up to 10 recipients per email.
  • Send mail messages up to 100MB in size.
  • Have a mailbox quota of 500 MB.
  • Experience spam filtering for emails sent from outside domains.
I formerly mentioned the restrictions that seemed to have slightly changed just for the number of messages you can send per 24 hour period. and error you get when reaching the send limit.  I am still concerned that one of the restriction they chose for the number of outbound messages. How can you successfully test the follow-up, threading and other features fully with a limit no other mail system enforces.

The mailbox quota is also incredibly small to test the analytics ability.  500MB is something I cannot even find across any free mail based system as a limit.  I would have hoped for 1-2GB.

However, IBM is adding to the mail features with some additional capabilities
In addition to mail you also get:
  • Calendar, contacts, in-line attachment preview, one-click tracking of actions that need attention, and analytics-based identification of important people and content.
  • Upload, store, and share files with individuals, with up to 500MB personal file storage.
  • Send and receive instant messages.
  • Collaborate and interact with others by viewing profiles, status updates, and files.
  • Encourage others to collaborate with you by spreading the word about IBM Verse Basic so they can get their own account.
IBM is also providing some free online storage for files to test that capability and share.  With their new IBM Connections Files offering you can get up to 1TB of paid space.
